Sorry for the delay updating to 18.5, I was waiting for the i686 version to be updated by Oracle as well since this was a dual architecture package, but that version seems to be slow in coming. Instead since the Arch i686 userbase seems to be quite small, I've dropped support for i686 and updated the now x86_64-only packages to 18.5.

Sorry, I missed that and looked at the _pkgname instead.

@Singularity: I'm not sure what you mean? The package name is "oracle-instantclient-basic" and it replaces the older "instantclient-basic" package which did not have the "oracle" prefix in its name.

You have replaces 'instantclient-basic', which is not needed, as it's the package's name (same with the related packages).

@yaute: It can't download automatically due to Oracle's licence agreement. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Oracle_client for your options.

listener.ora is for an Oracle server. This is only an Oracle client. It does not listen for incoming database connections.

If you think there is a problem, please install the .zip per Oracle's instructions and advise if that works. The way they suggest to install it (in /opt) is not 'the Linux way', so this package does things differently, to make it work more like every other Linux application/library.

As per the wiki instructions, tnsnames.ora goes into /etc by default. You have to create this file yourself if you want to use it (it is optional) because it lists server names of the databases you want to use and we don't know what they are so we can't install that for you.

If you Google the error code it tells you that ORA-12541 means the Oracle server is down or a firewall is preventing you from connecting (or you are connecting to the wrong server), so it seems your Oracle client install is working fine.

This package should not install all the files inside the .zip in /opt/oracle?. How it is suggested here in the section of installation of zip files http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linuxx86-64soft-092277.html. On the other hand when I install a third package that depends on this I got cx_Oracle.DatabaseError: ORA-12541: TNS:no listener But I do not see any listener.ora file in my system after installation. Nor tnsnames.ora file. I think wiki needs to be update. Anyone having same issues than me?

ocilib compiles completely ok for me. It's the litesql backend that doesn't even when I manually tell it where ocilib is, and that probably lies in between ocilib and litesql. Most probably not at all wrong here. Still thanks for trying. Neither ocilib nor litesql AUR pages are exactly chatty and internets are silent as well. I'll have to hack on.

ocilib compiles for me if I manually specify the paths: ./configure --with-oracle-headers-path=/usr/include --with-oracle-lib-path=/usr/lib Not sure if that helps you. I might leave out the precompiler thing unless someone really wants it, it doesn't look like it's something that's used all that often...
